Can you swap out the blades for ones that actually move air

the included blades move air just fine. Why would you want to change them? They are the reason why you would buy this fan.

The fan blades on this fan throw out plenty of air! This fan is beautiful as is...if you want regular blades, buy yourself a different fan!

I have no idea. I think the motor is weak, so the the fan does not spin fast at all! I guess it's more for decoration. It's definitely not good for homes in warm areas!

The blades aren't the problem. The motor that isn't powerful enough to turn the blades at a sufficient speed to move any air.

Please check the specs for the types of blades included with the unit. I have not changed them, but from what I have read, and what I can see, the blades seem very easy to change.

I had no problem changing mine . It flys great and while waiting took from my air hog chopper . They also worked nicely.did not change them till worn out. Go for it my air hog was awsome till one blade chiped flys so much better as parts

In time you will need to change the blades but not for at least a year or longer

If you simply swap them out it should work. However you need to swap the whole thing.

The go in clockwise direction. No they can't be reversed, but they can be adjusted and moved around. You can control tr flow of the fan

You would have to cut the glides if you cut the sides. Both the glides and the sides have crucial parts on them. I can't imagine ever being able to adapt it to work well. You would be much better off buying something else.

Generally speaking, yes, but it will change the rotation speed(s) of the blades. Probably not significantly though.

I have both too. I can't be 100%sure, but it looks like you could possibly interchange the blades.

I can't see any way to reverse mine, and would be grateful if someone can tell me how to this. Having said that, mine operates blowing air down all the time, which I find works well in winter to bring warm air down, and creates a nice breeze in the summer. If you look at the blade shape, they really are designed to blow downwards so am doubtful how well they would reverse (if it was possible). Apart from this, I love the fan. It is very quiet, elegant, changes speed smoothly. Love it! (and if anyone can tell me how to reverse direction, please let me know how - I'm very curious).

Sort of hard to answer-the "frame" to which the curved blades are attached have several bolt holes so just loosen the bolts and the blades can be moved in (making the diameter of the blades smaller) or out (larger diameter). Sorry for such a lousy description but it does work. Good luck.

I have not tried to exchange blades with other machines. I honestly don't know.

Is the motor reversible? Honestly don't know...and I imagine reversing the wiring hookups wouldn't work, either. If you're trying to suck the outside air in, rather than forcing the inside air out, wouldn't that depend on the fan blade design?

YES ! With the switch on the body you may select either "Clockwise" or "Counter Clockwise" rotation of the blades.

Honestly I would not think so .. I doubt if the blades r interchangeable on different brands ... I m sure the Conair makes their own replacement blades.

i'm sure you can take the blade off and turn it around. if the blade will not come off you would have to reverse the motor.

Yes, if you look at the ones on your copter, there is an "A" & "B" blade. The new ones should have that too. Make sure you replace an "A" with an "A" and so on. Hope this was helpful.
